- NC Democratic senators warn right to contraception could be at risk
North Carolina Democratic senators and advocates warned that access to contraception could be at risk, citing challenges to reproductive rights following the 2021 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization Supreme Court decision. They co-sponsored Senate Bill 413 to codify contraceptive access into state law, while a separate Republican-backed bill proposed defining life as beginning at conception, though it faced criticism and lacked widespread support.
